Year 4 - Autumn 1 - Week 7
Date: 13th Oct 2025 @ 3:27pm
It’s been another exciting week in Year 4, filled with creativity!
Our week began with RE, where we explored the Christian values found in Psalms. We looked closely at verses such as “The Lord is our shepherd”, thinking deeply about the underlying meanings and how these words offer comfort, guidance, and strength in our lives.
English took us on a magical journey as we wrote diary entries from the perspective of Leon, who visited a circus with his brothers and sisters. Each child added their own twist to the story, imagining Leon stepping into a magical place in between. The writing was full of emotion, creativity, and vivid description.
To support our understanding of place value, we practised rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, and 1,000 during our Maths lessons.
During Science, we discussed the environmental impact on living things, thinking about how changes in habitats and climate can affect animals and plants. The children shared thoughtful ideas about how we can help protect the natural world.
Using a Double Bubble map in Geography, we compared the capital of the UK with the capital of America. It was fascinating to explore the similarities and differences between London and Washington, D.C., and to see how geography helps us understand different cultures and places.
Our Art lessons were full of pattern and precision as we created tessellation designs. The children enjoyed experimenting with shapes and colours to produce beautiful, repeating patterns.
To mark Hate Crime Awareness Week, we created a powerful handprint art piece inspired by the words of Martin Luther King Jr. – “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” Each handprint represented the idea that love comes in different colours, and together they formed a beautiful message of unity and kindness.
